Hi, I'm using the ntpd to sync time. When I change the current date for exampe to 0210020215 (2015-02-10 02:02), the actually current time is 2015-02-10 03:02, then I run "ntpq -p" for several times, the offset doesn't change at all.
 ~ # ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*zse18adnss1.ea. 10.6.151.123     2 u    5    8  377  280.663  2520785  16.037

~ # ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*ns3.swelin.arri 10.6.151.123     2 u    3    8  377  280.774  2520785  16.089

However, when I wait for several minutes, the time can be adjusted to the right time. I couldn't see the gradual changes of offset. Is that normal?

Appreciate your help, thank you.
Catherine.
